winter weekend getaway – continued<br />
Bluestone by <strong>Teman</strong><br />
• Dubbo<br />
Under two hours from Bluestone, the<br />
Dubbo Region is a great place to visit,<br />
filled with world-class attractions and<br />
larger-than-life experiences and is known<br />
as one of the friendliest destinations<br />
in NSW. In the heart of the beautiful<br />
Macquarie Valley, Dubbo is a vibrant<br />
regional city by the majestic Macquarie<br />
River. A key attraction is the Taronga<br />
Western Plains Zoo which is home<br />
to hundreds of rare and endangered<br />
animals including rhinos and big cats. In the city centre is the heritage-listed Old Dubbo<br />
Gaol, which has Australia’s largest collection of hangman’s knots. The magnificent<br />
Western Plains Cultural Centre is both a gallery and a museum and the Dubbo<br />
Heritage Walk is a great way to admire ornate architecture and explore the stories of<br />
pioneers and bushrangers. You can visit the ancient Aboriginal grinding grooves in the<br />
Terramungamine Reserve. If you love astrophotography, you can go stargazing at Dubbo<br />
Observatory and see the constellations through powerful telescopes. Another great<br />
attraction is the iconic Royal Flying Doctors, where you can board a flight simulator.<br />
meet your<br />
neighbour<br />

Rosedale by <strong>Teman</strong><br />
Where did you grow up as a child?<br />
I was born in Newcastle but grew up in Bonnells<br />
Bay, which is not far from Rosedale. I went to the<br />
local Infants and Primary schools.<br />
What do you love about living in a <strong>Teman</strong><br />
community?<br />
I love the fact that the village is in a nice quiet<br />
area with no noisy families or neighbours.<br />
Rosedale is its own little community.<br />
Maintenance free living is a big bonus too.<br />
What are some of your hobbies?<br />
I belong to a chapter called the Central Coast<br />
Wanderers and once a month we go camping<br />
anywhere from Aldo’s Point Gloucester to Umina<br />
on the Central Coast. We usually only travel a<br />
couple of hours from the Central Coast. It’s nice<br />
to get out and about and spend time with friends.<br />
What is a memory that makes you smile?<br />
I can’t think of an exact memory off the top of<br />
my head, but I have many happy memories from<br />
my camping trips and the bus trips, lunches and<br />
functions that are held at Rosedale.<br />

What do you love about living in a <strong>Teman</strong><br />
community?<br />
It’s friendly, helpful, and efficient staff. We’ve had<br />
2 problems since moving in that required urgent<br />
attention, which were very capably attended<br />
to. Very friendly Residents. Everyone is always<br />
saying “hello” or a wave. Neat and tidy gardens<br />
and a very positive attitude throughout the<br />
village.<br />
What are some of your hobbies?<br />
Mort: Gardening, Travel, Reading.<br />
Cheryl: Drama and Singing, Travel, Swimming<br />
and Walking.<br />
What is a memory that makes you smile?<br />

our little dog! Reminiscing on how things have<br />
changed from our youth.<br />
